Ladislav Almasi to Celtic transfer 'back ON' as Slovakian star tipped as Cho Gue Sung alternative

Celtic will reportedly look to previous target Ladislav Almasi if their pursuit of Cho Gue-sung doesn't go to plan.

Ange Postecoglou is believed to be in the market for a new striker after Record Sport revealed Giorgos Giakoumakis' contract talks broke down, leaving the club open to January offers for the Greek. Postecoglou hasn't started Giakoumakis since returning from the World Cup break with firing Kyogo the firm favourite up front and if he does leave, they seem likely to sign another front man.

World Cup star Gue-sung appears to be the main target to that end and he has established household name status in his homeland after becoming the first South Korean ever to net multiple goals in a single World Cup game against Ghana. He's posed for the cover of Vogue and could bring his new movie-star level appeal to Parkhead with a price tag of around £2million mooted.
